Atmospheric gravity waves have been a subject of intense research activity in recent years
because of their myriad effects and their major contributions to atmospheric circulation …

It has been known for at least 30 years that vertically narrow thermal layers form within the
middle atmosphere. Two types of temperature enhancements, the low‐latitude to midlatitude …

The MSIS‐86 empirical model has been revised in the lower thermosphere and extended
into the mesosphere and lower atmosphere to provide a single analytic model for calculating …

Laser Remote Sensing provides an up-to-date, comprehensive review on LIDAR, focusing
mainly on applications to current topics in atmospheric science. The scope of the book …

The technique of the Rayleigh lidar provides temperature profiles with a good temporal and
vertical resolution in the middle atmosphere. Data obtained by 2 Rayleigh lidars set up at the …

A large data set obtained by Rayleigh lidars during 4 years has been analyzed in order to
describe the gravity wave climatology in the 30‐to 75‐km altitude range at mid‐latitude. The …

Mesospheric thermal inversions are investigated in a numerical simulation with the Whole
Atmosphere Community Climate Model, an upward extension of the National Center for …

Many independent measurements have shown that extremely cold temperatures are found
in the Martian mesosphere. These mesospheric “cold pockets” may result from the …

Some basic aspects of dynamics and transport in polar regions within one or two scale
heights of the summer mesopause are examined, and the implications for local one …

Temperature is a key parameter of the state of the atmosphere. Temperature data play an
important role in such fields as atmospheric dynamics, climatology, meteorology, and …
